Bill (Storm King 2) and I went to the Goodguys event at Beech Bend. Bunches of max wedge and hemi ’63, ’64, and ’65 mopars. Lotsa nice old gassers (now called “Geezer Gassers” when they are done just like back in the day)
Also just a bunch of very nice street rods of all years and of course everything from rats to trailer queens. After sitting on the bleechers for an hour or so we decided we just aren’t spectators; so went home to work on our projects. I wanted to have my Dart a roller for this event, but ran out of time. This’ll be the last event of the year for us except for the NHRA World Finals in Pomona in a few weeks (well I guess that’ll be it for everybody by then).
For anyone who love the atmoshere of drag strips the way they used to be, Beech Bend is the bomb! It’s like time warping back to the sixties, except they have pretty nice rest rooms for a drag strip and actually decent food.
The bleechers on both sides of the track are covered, and you sit in old theater seats instead of just flat benches. You just have to go there to see what a neat place “The Bend” is!
We want everybody here for the Hot Rod Reunion next year!

Dino, here’s the round 2 and 3 results from Atco on Saturday:

SLIPPERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody ranged from having a little trouble hooking to flat-out blowing off the slicks. There was atleast a few people that were quite unhappy with the track prep/maintenance for the day.

[edit-dino: Video Bob told me …Red Baron Hooked up better with Stickyer tires for holeshots and won 2&3 …Paul opting for New Tires with other wheels ,Nostalgia Style Wheels wrong size for “Gumball compound “…Bad track Didn’t help situation !]

Mas racing checking in .Went to lebanon valley for 2 top dragster races.My son BJ finally got his first win on saturday.and got down to 4cars on sunday.He’s been working realy hard on his driving the top end of the track and it’s starting to pay off.On sunday I got to see my old pal Digger Dave that realy made my day. Were going to Maple Grove this weekend with BJ’S car and Billy Griffins car. Were going to try to get the record back in C/EA . About the Atco thing usualy Atco is fantastic very surprising that it was bad.
